Question:

What is an atomic radius and what trends do the atomic radii of elements follow when read both across and down the periodic table?

Alisa B.

Answer:

The atomic radius is the radius of the atom including the electron cloud. This radius increases down a group of the periodic table as the total number of electrons increases as well as the number of energy shells used. The radius decreases across a period, with each element the nuclear charge increases and electrons are more attracted to the nucleus.
